LA853 quick-tach for LA852?

[cmsedore]

Does anyone know if the quick-tach that Kubota intro'd for the LA853 (loader for the L4630/5030) will fit the LA852 (for the 4610)? I've been wanting to add quick-tach to my LA852. I've read some lukewarm to negative comments on TBN about the ATI, and one positive about the Kasco (but Kasco doesn't answer email).

I figured if the Kubota one would fit, it would be a good choice.

The skid steer type quick couplers you are refering to have different part numbers.

LA852-1 loader takes the #L1716 coupler
LA 853 loader takes the #L2232 coupler

The loaders use different buckets, even though they are all 72" widths. Hope this helps.

Lewis,

Are these Kubota part numbers? I did not know that Kubota produced a skid-steer type quick-tach for the LA852. Can you share pricing information?

I'd seen the Kubota proprietary quick attachment option, but I really want to be able to put skid-steer attachments on.

I was told by my dealer that the new loaders (I presume LA853) was wider and different than the LA852 loaders. Am not positive of that, just what he told me.

Chris, yes those are Kubota wholegoods numbers. I thought that I had posted this to you the other day, sorry for the delay.
LA852-1, a pin on type quick coupler #L1716, list $300.00
LA853, a skid steer type coupler #L2232, list $380.00
Hope this helps.

I have an ATI QA on an 852 loader (4610HST) with a Long 4in1. Total of approx. 90 hours and no problems or complaints other than the initial cost at $450.
I would purchase same item again.
No problems with pallet forks (borrowed from a friend with a Bobcat.)
Good Luck,
Evan
